App (Database)¶

A type of Database that houses various applications within the Fractal Database ecosystem.

Database¶

A collection of user-defined ReplicatedModels.

Device (ReplicatedModel)¶

Represents a physical device, such as a computer, within the Fractal Database framework.

DeviceMembership (ReplicatedModel)¶

Represents a device's affiliation with a specific Database, detailing its role and permissions.

DurableOperation¶

Local tasks within the Fractal Database that are guaranteed to be executed and stored persistently.

Fractal Link¶

The link that connects the Fractal Gateway to a device

Group (Database)¶

A structured Database that organizes devices and applications, facilitating collaborative self-hosting.

ReplicationChannel (ReplicatedModel)¶

A pathway within the Fractal Database for synchronizing data between replicated models across various devices.

ReplicationLog (DurableOperation)¶

A record created whenever a UserDefinedModel is instantiated, tracking changes and updates for consistency.

ReplicatedModel¶

A fundamental data structure within Fractal Database designed to be duplicated and synchronized across multiple locations.

Representations (DurableOperations)¶

Different forms or versions of DurableOperations that ensure consistent task execution and data replication.

Service (Database)¶

A specialized Database designed to manage and replicate services across different devices and locations.

Task¶

An executable function within the Fractal Database system, managed by TaskIQ and executed by workers to maintain database integrity and functionality.

UserDefinedModel (ReplicatedModel)¶

A customizable ReplicatedModel created and managed by users to fit specific application needs.

Volumes¶

The logical area of the disk. Serves as a container for the file system and provides structure for accessing data.
